Merkava Tank Ideas and Inspiration
raafif:
The Namer is the latest APC for Israel &, like the tanks, is fitted with Trophy anti-mine detector & detonator. Just today I saw the latest Namer version with mini turret lining up for the invasion.
Old Wombat:
Trophy is an anti-missile/rocket system, not anti-mine system.
--- Quote from: www.rafael.co.il ---TROPHY creates a neutralization bubble around the vehicle. It rapidly detects, classifies and engages all known chemical energy (CE) threats – including recoilless rifles, ATGMs, AT rockets, HEAT tank rounds, and RPGs. It increases the lethality of combat forces, successfully neutralizing the enemy's anti-tank teams.
It can locate the fire source, enabling the crew to return fire effectively using the platform's armament, or by interfacing with other fighting platforms via the BMS network.

Story:
Israeli Merkava tanks have emerged with metal armor screens on top of their turrets as the country continues to prepare for a major ground assault into the Gaza Strip. The Russian military was the first to employ this kind of add-on armor, often derisively referred to as "cope cages," on tanks and other armored vehicles. It has now become a fixture on both sides of the conflict in Ukraine, primarily to provide extra protection against drones, one of the many threats Israel's forces will also face in Gaza.

I hope the Israeli versions work better than the Russian versions seem to. :-\
